The democratic masses OF the Union
will repudiate Mr.. ClevelaRd's theo-
ries. They reflect the peculiar condi-
tons of New York City, whose inter
ests demand free trade. They are OPP
posed to the overmastering interests
of the people of the interior. The
course of the president will disorgan-
ize the Democracy, and for the rea-
sons stated it will revolutiOnize the
policy of the Republican party in the
South. The decisions in the supreme
court on the Virginia bond case, the
Kansas prohibition case and the ILL
nois anarchists case have intellectually
affected the Southern people These
decisions have established the theory
of states rights, and they emanate
from a Republican court. These facts
taken in conjunction will be all the
more decisive of disruption of par
ty discipline, and all the more condu-
Give to full and free discussion by
the people of the great paramount
questions of the day.-Binghamton

JACKSON, Mich, December IL
The National Merino Sheep Register
association met here to-day, President
Dean presiding. In the course OF his
address, referring to President Cieve-
lands position on the tariff, he SAID;
1T is evident that the executive head
of the nation, Influenced, no doubt, by
insiduous advice, and plausible argu-
ments of the free traders, has deter
mined to sacrifice the wool growing
industry in the interest OF alien mas
tiers and those who make a business
of importing products. The tariff re-
ductlon of 1888 inflicted incalculable
damage upon the sheep breeders OF
the United States. 1t was hoped that
the worst was over and that the im-
provements noticed in the past year
would continue, but it is evident that
the struggle is not yet over and that
we must be up and doing if we hope
to overcome this new enemy.

The effect of the democratic policy
advocated by President Cleveland in
his message. can be seen in the fol
lowing statement taken from the Kan
sas Farmer: ''The annual revenue de-
rived from imports of wool under the
tariff of 1867 was less than S1,7O0.
Under the reduced tariff of 1888, the
revenue last year was over five mil
lions. The number of sheep in the
country in 1884 was 50,626,6l6; in
1887 it was Al, 1924, a decrease of
nearly 5000, 600, and diminution of
the annual wool product of over 35,-
O00, 600 pounds, thus showing that
reducing the tariff by the act of 1883
has increased the revenue from the
imported woods and decreased the
number of sheep in the United States
about 10 per cent, and the annual
product in the same proportion. y
Cleveland suggests further attack
on the wool industry. The effect OF
reduction of the tariff on wool has
not tended to decrease of the sur
plus. but to its increase. Cleveland
would kill our wool growing industry
and throw open our markets to impor
rations from Australia and Other
great wool producing countries, thu.
placing our wool manufacturers at tn,
mercy of foreign producers. Is sucl
an end desirable or such recommend
alton commendable ? The adoption O
the proposition of President Clevelan,
would strike at two of our great hom
industries. and indirectly affect TIN
consumer to his prejudice.
